cellular respiration Flashcards
what is the process called that releases the chemical energy stored in glucose?
respiration
where does fermentation occur?
cytoplasm
where does aerobic respiration start and finish ?
starts in the cytoplasm finishes in the mittochondria
is cellular respiration a metabolic pathway?
yes
what are the 3 sets of reactions in cellular respiration?
- glycolysis;
- the citric acid cycle;
- the electron transport chain.
where does Glycolisis take place and does it require oxygen?
cytoplasm and no
is oxygen required in the citric acid cycle?
yes
what is the final product of Glycolisis?
pyruvate
what is the net gain of ATP molecules from Glycolisis?
2
In which organelle does the citric acid cycle occur?
Mittochondria
Name the molecule produced when oxaloacetate combines with an acetyl group.
